fuck tv: a brief thought

how 'bout this.

why i hardly ever watch tv: because i hate being fed. 90 percent of the time that most people would spend watching tv, eg. push media (cos i'm not saying i don't watch it, just hardly ever sit down and watch it on my own), i spend using pull media. i don't have to schedule my life around books or the internet or any of my vast array of pirated media, je choisis quand je veux les voir! i don't have to change channels because of lame ads, i don't have to be subjected to formulaic network schlock, and the tv shows that i actually want to watch (family guy, six feet under.... uhh.. the simpsons maybe?) i can either download or get on dvd. except for this one cartoon that's on treehouse that i totally fucking love, called timothy goes to school.

but i guess probably the biggest reason that i hardly ever watch tv is so that i can persist in my pseudointellectual fallacy of a belief that i'm somehow flipping off the proverbial Man.

c'est tout.
